few of the problems have bee solved now...
when i used dmesg it said
usb mass storage device is installed at location 3
and later when i opened control center and went into services i found that hotplug is disabled at boot. so i enabled it and it detected the usb drive.
regarding booting, i somehow managed to transfer the lilo from hdb to hda and now the system shows the option to boot in linux or windows or fail-safe(i dont know this...guess sth like safe mode in Windows)
now still I dont have my wireless network adapter installed....i did not get the proper link for the ndiswrapper,,,so can anybody get me the exact download link for that module...is it a normal installation file??? I have not installed anything so far in the Linux
When I looked at the programs running, postgresql was disabled and I enabled it...httpd is running it said...i hope thats apache...there is no service with the name mysql.
how do i run mysql: in windows: i do, mysql -u username -ppassword;
how is it possible to install more packages in the LINUX cds the ones I did not install during the LINUX installation. do I have to boot from the cd to install them again or can access them from the desktop environment and just install few more packages??
is this services the same as services in Windows???
wot is the equivalent of a task manager in Windows???
I have got multiple desktop environments KDE, GNOME and others. I think the former two are the most popular ones...anybody can recommend which is the best to start using???
Thanks for helping a starter guys
